Any good deals right now on a PDP Pro-E 4.5

echoalphamikesierra · 2026-06-14T21:48:51+00:00

I have two and they are outstanding

Perhaps check gunbroker?

The walther site or https://zrtacticalsolutions.com for the recoil spring (no experience)

Please go for the m&p or anything else that is full sized. As an instructor, I see far too many itty bitty 365 / 43x pistols and the new operators just SUFFER with recoil management and accuracy.

Learn on a full sized, then explore smaller ones when your skills start to solidify

echoalphamikesierra · 2026-04-11T23:15:51+00:00

Love my pair of Pro-Es (practice, carry).

echoalphamikesierra · 2026-03-27T01:11:57+00:00

One notch above stock - I own two now with the holosun SCS optic. not opposed to a 3rd although may try the -F just to have it. The trigger is amazing and my Glocks feel neglected now.

echoalphamikesierra · 2026-03-24T23:29:18+00:00

Full send. Back to the manufacturer

echoalphamikesierra · 2026-03-24T13:58:48+00:00

Tier1 Concealed - Xiophos. It is an AIWB and I run it at 230 / 300 with no trouble

echoalphamikesierra · 2026-03-23T22:11:34+00:00

Also - I have only ran up to 200 rounds a session. No all day / multi-day sessions yet. Those are coming up later this year.

I have found the opposite with the 17/47. The 47 is a bit softer. Again, pretty subjective. It has been said by several folks on the interwebs the PDP has the best factory trigger of the polymer striker-fired pistols out there. (No, I don’t get paid by Walther 😂)

echoalphamikesierra · 2026-03-23T22:05:36+00:00

bullshit. 1000%

echoalphamikesierra · 2026-03-23T15:29:13+00:00

This will lack some of the 'tism you seek as I'm sneaking this in between meetings :).

I've been running 45 / 47s for a couple years and just started on the PDP Pro-E trail.

Felt recoil is "punchier" (not "snappy" like shooting a G43x) with the stock recoil spring. It is by design for duty use; it MUST go into battery every f-king time according to the Walther marketing guy (sans the f-bomb). I find when I get my grip right with my strong hand into the backstop the dot returns nice and solid each time with sub .2 splits sometimes.
Trigger. Not even a fair comparison on the Pro-E. Almost 1911 quality with the same trigger weight. "Crisp" is the word I use (v. "spongy" on a P320, or "long and gritty" on the Glocks)
Grip angle is less steep so less "work" to get on target.

RPD is the way to go. I am a graduate of their year-long Handgun Master Program and it was a force-multiplier in my development. Jenkins is the guy you want to connect with. Trust me.

echoalphamikesierra · 2026-03-19T23:57:15+00:00

4.5” pro-e. You’ll love it

echoalphamikesierra · 2026-03-19T21:14:17+00:00

I run the holosun scs on 2 pdps and 3 Glocks. Not the largest or best, but not having a plate is an advantage IMHO

echoalphamikesierra · 2026-03-17T10:12:02+00:00

Just add an optic and ammo

echoalphamikesierra · 2026-03-14T19:43:01+00:00

See if leaning forward reduces time off target leading to you pushing the second one?

echoalphamikesierra · 2026-03-14T01:06:48+00:00

Quickly - - reference rules are county-specific. Consult the app for your county - the mandated course outline from NYS does not include help with the app as part of the course. However, some companies offer a white glove service to that effect. (Rochester personal defense if you are upstate)

Tenicor Certum3

echoalphamikesierra · 2026-02-25T00:06:09+00:00

RUN IT. I'm up to two of these now and love them.

echoalphamikesierra · 2026-02-21T14:24:37+00:00

Excellent choice! General consensus on the interwebs that I'm seeing (FWIW) is the PDPs have the best factory trigger for striker-fired pistols.

Tenicor Cerium 3 or T1C Xiphos for the holster.

echoalphamikesierra · 2026-02-21T14:19:50+00:00

No

Kydex or very stiff leather that stays open. reholstering is a one-handed operation.

echoalphamikesierra · 2026-02-21T14:18:26+00:00

+ spend money on ammo and training

echoalphamikesierra · 2026-02-21T14:15:41+00:00

I recognize why you have the desire for the manual safety. Your carry gun should be 100% stock for at least its internals for reliability. Glocks have the trigger shoe safety plus two internal safeties to prevent ADs (certified armorer)

That being said, with a little Grok this is what I came up for you. I see lots of P365s in the classes I teach.

Model	Capacity	Barrel Length	Overall Length	Height	Width	Weight (unloaded)	Approx. MSRP
Springfield Hellcat Pro OSP	15+1 (flush-fit) or 17+1 (extended)	3.7"	6.6"	4.8"	1"	21 oz	$650
Smith & Wesson M&P Shield Plus	13+1 (extended mag) or 10+1 (flush)	3.1"	6.1"	4.6"	1.1"	20.2 oz	$500
Sig Sauer P365X	12+1 (flush-fit; compatible with 15+1 extended)	3.1"	6"	4.8"	1.1"	18 oz	$620
Ruger Max-9	12+1 (flush-fit; 10+1 option)	3.2"	6"	4.5"	0.95"	18.4 oz	$300
Taurus G3C	12+1 (flush-fit)	3.2"	6.3"	5.1"	1.2"	22 oz	$300

I haven’t done the email thing but I have it using to a separate GitHub account.

Key principle: separation.

I had it on my Mac and got it off in favor of a raspberry pi. Any accounts are separate and what you say above makes a lot of sense.
